Night Operations Specialist - Berlin (m/w/d)

About Bob W

I’m Bob W, your friend in town. I take the guesswork out of travel, blending the best of both worlds: hotel-grade consistency, local character, and a few surprises only locals would know. Every apartment is fully carbon offset and set up in Europe’s most interesting neighbourhoods, so you feel at home - just with better coffee and smarter tech. I’m building a new kind of stay: five-star comfort, local flair, and always a step ahead on sustainability. All you have to do is show up. I’ll handle the rest.

The Role

As a Night Operations Specialist, you will be the host of Bob W Berlin while the city sleeps. Combining the classic responsibilities of a hotel night auditor with the hands-on mindset of our Operations team, you will make sure our guests are well looked after and our buildings are safe, quiet and ready for the morning.

Working 23:00–07:30 (including a 30-minute break), you will be based primarily at our Alexanderplatz property (289 units) while also supporting our smaller Mitte property when needed. You will be the only Bob W team member on-site at night, so independence, good judgement and a calm, solution-oriented approach are essential. You will, however, always have the remote Guest Success team and an on-call manager available for support.

This is a hands-on role where you will move between guest service, night audit, operational tasks and incident management. In recognition of working nights, you will receive a night-work supplement on top of your base salary.

Please note that visa sponsorship or relocation support is not offered for this role.
